Can I get to another website?

@Alexdaklak
You would have to have access to the aforementioned files on the other website.

However you could just hook up into their RSS feed, like so:

[script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://www.google.com/reader/ui/
publisher-en.js”][/script]
[script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://www.google.com/reader/public/javascript/feed/http://www.voodish.co.uk/articles/v-feed.php?n=9&callback=GRC_p(%7Bc%3A’-'%2Ct%3A”%2Cs
%3A’false’%7D)%3Bnew%20GRC&hl=en”][/script]

please note you should replace [ ] with <> respectively.
Hope this helps

This looks good {except for the specifics of calling wp()}, but when I try it on a clean 2.6.3 I get a fatal error inside wp-settings.php that a member function is being called on a non-object. It’s talking about the $wpdb object calling set_prefix. I can’t see why there would be a problem since WP works in every other way. Two lines up it checks !empty($wpdb->error without complaint.
What am I missing?

I finally got back to trying this out. Here’s’ the error I get:
Strict Notice: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in wp-settings.php on line 472
My server says it has a PHP version of 4.4.8, but I thought it was higher since I’m able to run Magento. (Oh yeah, there’s this in the .htaccess file: AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 php).

So is it just my version of PHP that has gone beyond allowing what WordPress is doing (assigning the return value of new by reference)? I guess I can hack the WP settings file not to do it that way…or turn off Strict… maybe?

So is it possible to pull latest posts from different categories on to different pages of a “traditional” separate website using this technique?
i.e posts in “news” category to a news page
and post from “offers” category to an offers page.

Is it possible to display comment form and comments from a specific post on a page outside of wordpress? I would like to show post comments on a page that is linked to inside the post but the link is on a page outside of wordpress. Would like to give option of commenting/reading comments in wp and on linked page.

Problem: the_excerpt() doesn’t seem to work with posts that have permalinks. This is indicated in the wordpress codex, and sure enough, I can’t get it to work. Bummer

In regards to your answer to Alexdaklak’s question: what is “have access” imply? For instance I have several sites hosted together including one with WP and another I’d like to include some of that WP content on using this method. Is there an additional step to load the necessary files or something in the server settings that has to be manipulated?

Thanks, much. I just much prefer the customization options of a regular include then running it through RSS…

I have tried both of your methods but neither one of them worked Is it still valid with the WP3.0 update?

***This is an old article; when I have more time I will build a new version for later WP versions.

In the meantime, try swapping wp-config.php for wp-load.php, which was new for WP2.5 onwards.
